There’s a problem with the final episode of “Tom vs Time.” The creators of the docuseries didn’t take into account that Tom Brady and the Patriots might not actually win Super Bowl LII. The Eagles’ victory threw a wrench into things.

The final episode will air, but it will be delayed because it will have a different focus. Brady’s fans can still get him talking about pliability and his plant-based diet all while drinking gallons of water.

Things not going according to director Gotham Chopra’s plan means he’ll do what the rest of Hollywood does: Try to create storylines around real-life events. “South Park” based an entire season around the premise that Hillary Clinton would defeat Donald Trump in the presidential election. That didn’t happen, and it ended up being one of the worst seasons of South Park ever.

Brady is selling people on his workout plans. He’s selling people on his diet. He’s selling people on the TB12 brand, which is basically the Goop for Type-A male sports fans.

Of course, Chopra and company had to recalibrate because things didn’t go as planned. They should have had a backup.
